Mother's Day is a very special day, but figuring out how to celebrate can prove very difficult. Some mother's love fancy gifts and others love to come home to something simple, like flowers. There's one thing all moms are sure to love though, and that's dessert!

If your mother is anything like mine, she's one of those homemade artwork-on-the-fridge type of girls. My mother was never into big fancy restaurants and extravagant gifts so a nice homemade meal was always the perfect gift. This Mother's Day, I've decided to switch it up a bit and focus on dessert instead of dinner. Homemade sweets are perfect gifts because they are not only tasty but thoughtful too. There's nothing like a chocolate treat to say, "I love and appreciate you, Mom!"

To help you choose a fun and tasty dessert to surprise your mother with this year, we've created a list of 5 chocolate recipes that you can try at home.
